Sr. Events Researcher

3 months ago

London, UK, United Kingdom Hermeneutic Investments Full time

About Us / Why Join?

We are a rapidly growing crypto hedge fund, 2 years old, managing a 9-figure AUM, generating 200%+ annualized returns with a 4 Sharpe.

We are seeking researchers for our new real-time information flows team. We believe there is a window of opportunity to build a capability of reacting to crypto market moving events that is currently unexploited.

  • You have experience exploiting alpha from market-moving events in the traditional markets and are eager to bring that experience to crypto.
  • It is highly likely you're crypto-native and already have an idea of what sources, individuals, and topics are worth tracking.

This is an opportunity to:

  • Bring your TradFi experience to a new nascent asset class where there is plenty of alpha to be harvested.
  • Work with some of the best crypto researchers and traders, proven with track record.
  • Be compensated very well, as our profitability per staff member is very high. Think: retirement money after 5 years.

Your Responsibility

  1. Brainstorming and creating alerts
    • Constantly brainstorm additional sources to put into our real-time information (RTI) system
    • Optimize alerts based on precision/recall scores
    • Maintain an extremely detailed calendar of material events.
  2. Monitoring and quality assurance
    • Enable, disable, and update alerts as market conditions change.
    • Constantly review alerts to ensure they are relevant, robust, and resilient
    • Wake-up, analyze, and alert the firm to market moving events
  3. Working with our technical team
    • Direct product development of our real-time event detection and alerting system
    • QA/UAT and test all releases of alerts and product to ensure they meet trading and research needs

Interview Process

After you apply, you can expect the following interview process:

  1. CV Screening - Against the criteria above.
  2. (Optional) Recruiter Call - If your CV needs additional screening.
  3. Chief of Staff Interview
  4. Colleague Presentation/Interview
  5. CIO Interview

To increase your chance of entering our interview process, please write to recruiting+RTI@hermeneutic.investments with your CV and cover letter that includes the answers to the following questions:

  1. Why do you meet the requirement for 1-5 years of research experience in researching and harvesting alpha from market moving events?

Throughout the process, you'll be assessed for cultural fit through our company values:

  1. Drive - We believe the best team members are passionate about what they do, and that propels them to greater heights in their career. It drives them to be part of the best teams where they are exposed to the best ideas.
  2. Ownership - We aim to give ownership interest to as many people in the firm as possible, but in return, we expect everyone to act like owners. "Not my responsibility" is a repugnant phrase to us.
  3. Judgement - We look for team members who consistently look at the big picture and spend their time on the activities that most drive PnL. They are pragmatic with their time; they don't stick to their narrow domain if it doesn't move the needle.
  4. Openness - We want a culture where we proactively share information with one another and challenge each other with constructive debate to reach the truth.
  5. Competence - We value people with high intellectual horsepower. They have already become an expert in one or more domains and learn extremely quickly when in unfamiliar territory.

FAQ

Is previous crypto experience necessary?

No, we prefer candidates who are coming from premier TradFi buy-side hedge funds.

However, we expect all candidates to have a strong interest in digital assets and ideally trade or invest in their personal account.
